About mdsa

 

Malaysian Dental Students' Association (MDSA) was established in 2013, to unite dental students in Malaysia under one official body. Malaysian Dental Students' Association (MDSA) was also referred to as "THE SOCIETY".

In the past, communication between dental schools has been poor and little was known about other degree programmes across the country. THE SOCIETY is founded by a group of enthusiastic senior dental students and young graduates from a number of local and foreign universities, with several aims in mind: promote networking and communication between dental schools, establish its credibility as the only national organization that represent the interests of dental students among the Malaysian dental community and among potential sponsors.
